“Woof… Do you know how Shuu and I met, Mika?”
“Yeah, he told us.”

Their meeting was apparently a total coincidence. After Shuu had saved a carriage loaded with slaves, Rir among them, he then got her from the carriage’s owner as a gift… I think? That was the extent of what he told us.

“Woof. Shuu saved my life several times. I had an illness that made me throw up whenever I ate food and my body was covered in wounds from the time before I became a slave, so the slave merchants declared me a defective product.”
“…I see.”

Yggdrasil’s system of slavery was the complete opposite of Mephilad, where slavery, even in the underworld, had been abolished completely. I heard this was then further worsened by the weird “defective slave regulation” and the “defective slave disposal system”. It was truly… terribly cruel.

So… that was how it had been for Rir. Shuu hadn’t told us that much.

“But the slave merchant foisted me onto Shuu, and… and… thinking about it now, it might have been for me to find safety at Shuu’s side¹. Shuu then cured my illness and… woof… that was the first time he saved my life,” Rir’s explained, suddenly in a happy tone.

Ever since a long time ago… maybe because his father was chief superintendent at the police, Shuu had an overwhelmingly strong sense of justice. Helping others came as second nature to him. He would never willingly choose to abandon someone.

“As for the second time; It happened after we became adventurers, since I selfishly wanted to be of help to Shuu. There was an incident while we were out on a request, and I ended up falling from a cliff… Shuu was also caught up in the fall, but… he saved me by making efficient use of his magic. That was the second time he saved my life.”

If you asked me, it was amazing he managed that kind of quick judgement while falling off a cliff. Was Shuu always such a quick thinker? Or did he act on instinct?

Hm~… if we’re talking academic ability, then I should be a bit better… Well, that wouldn’t matter much in such a situation in this world.

“Woof, woof, then he had me drink a potion we obtained in a dungeon we discovered after that fall, and… it healed all the wounds on my body! Woof~, it also brought back one of my ears and part of my tail, which had been cut off. It made me so happy. It’s been less than two months² since I met Shuu, but… in that time, he’s done so much for me!”

They were cut off? Her ear and part of her tail? That’s… worse than I imagined.

But, although that might be a bad way to put it, I don’t think the slave trainers would do such a thing to a girl they considered a product, so… these horrible things probably happened to her before that.

Rir traced her body here and there with her hands, showing us two or three spots where wounds used to be. There probably had been even more.

“I see. So, you couldn’t help developing feelings for him, right?”
“W-Woof! Yes. To be honest, when I heard today that Shuu would remain here in some form, it made me euphoric! I… want to spend the rest of my life repaying the kindness he has shown me.”

Rir’s voice made her firm determination clear, or rather… This was pretty much the natural outcome when such a meek girl got exposed to Shuu’s full righteousness.

“I see… So, that’s the reason you love him… Then, what parts of him do you love most?”
“Woof, what I love most… everything about him.”
“Be more specific.”
“Woof! Then, that he’s handsome… gentle… strong… a-and his muscles!”

His… muscles?

He certainly was a mass of muscles… his biceps even bulged when he didn’t flex them and… the muscles on his back were rather prominent, when he wore tight-fitting clothes… but he was more the slender muscular type.

“His muscles… I don’t really get it, I guess?” I mused.
“Yeah. But there are people who are into that,” Sakura added.
“Woof? You don’t get it? Well… in the past, wolfkin were mainly tribes of hunters, so… men who seem strong, even if they look like Shuu, are popular among wolfkin girls. This also goes for lionkin, tigerkin, and leopardkin, you see³.”

I see, her combative race is the reason she has a fondness for muscles. I get it now.

There’s one more thing I want to ask her…

“I see. I now understand why you love him… So? How far did you go in these less than two months?”
“What do you mean?”
“Erm, did you just hold hands… or did you kiss… or…”
“Woof!”

Indeed, that was the part I was most curious about. In any case, Sakura and Kanata likely only held hands… and maybe kissed. I didn’t think they had gone into the bath together. But how were things for Rir?

“Oh… uhm… in that case, Shuu and I did…”
“Wha-!?” Sakura screamed in a weird, shocked tone of voice.

She wasn’t as used to these topics as I was, so it couldn’t be helped.

Nevertheless, after less than two months… I guess Shuu is more manly than I thought.
Ha-ha-ha~, what would happen if his father heard about that?

“That was quick…”
“Eh… huh… eh~…!”
“Woof~… Eh-heh-heh-heh.”
“Alright, then. I’ll give you some super-special information about what kind of girls Shuu likes. Back on Earth, Alim told me that she once snuck into his room.”
“Woof… what kind of girls does he like?”

She leaned her body towards me. I could see her keen interest in the matter.

On that note, Ayumu was the type who was attracted by looks.

“Girls with huge honkers!”
“Woof? Huge honkers? So, girls with big boobs are what he’s looking for?”
“So I’ve been told. Indeed, cute girls with a big chest, exactly like you, Rir. At least I think so.”
“A-Awoo!!” She got so happy, her tail started to splash around in the water.

“Now, Sakura, it’s your turn.”
“Eh, me?”
“Yes. I already know the reason you love Kanata, but Rir doesn’t, so please tell her.”
“Woof~, I’d love to hear it!”
“Eh… well… alright?”

1. Or he just wanted to get rid of a slave that would earn him nothing instead of having to gift Shuu a normal one. Although, he did seem worried about her not eating, and even without the eating disorder, she would have been judged a defective product, so there might’ve been some genuine concern.
2. In the original, she says two (or even a bit more) months. However, looking at the timeline, it should only have been around 36 days since they met.
3. Sounds like there was an alternate beastgirl harem route waiting for Shuu.
